Newcastle v Arsenal
That's my ticket. My seat was at the corner of the stadium, and I had a great view of the entire match.
This was taken at about 30 minutes before the match. Some staff were around the field, making necessary preparations before the match begun. As for me, it was cam-whoring time.
*snaps* I was wearing my NUFC shirt for the first time in Newcastle, and it is of course, the team I support, well, eventually because I've been living here for a while. After introducing the players, the whistle went off and the match started.
GO GEORDIES! TOON TOON TOON! I could hear all the fans cheering and shouting. The feeling of being in the stadium is unlike any other experience, it is as if I was part of the game itself.
Well, Arsenal played well and scored 3 goals, while our home team ended with a disappointing defeat of 1-3. The exciting part was, there were 4 goals in 10 minutes! I was so disappointed that my hero, Michael Owen, was like a sotong running around in the field and hardly touching the ball.
Today is my first time watching a live football match in the stadium. I was lucky to be able to still get a ticket for the Newcastle v Arsenal match just 1 day before.
It was a good game though. Arsenal fans, which only made up 10% of the audience, were singing their cheer songs, but the rest of the stadium was silent. Not a very good day for the black and whites, I guess.
